Welcome to the Hughes Lab!
Diabetes research at Washington University in St. Louis
Who are we?
The Hughes lab studies islet hormone secretion and complex cell interactions. Our work combines endocrinology, cell biology, and immunology to understand how islet cells carry out crosstalk and signal transduction, and how these are affected in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Our core techniques include:
- quantitative microscopy
- molecular biology
- genetic models
- animal physiology
- proteomics
- gene expression profiling
